HOW TO USE A RESISTANCE AND PACE PROGRAM 1 Begin pedaling to activate the console. See step 1 on page 13. 2 Select one of the six resistance and pace programs. To select a resistance and pace program, press the Program Select button repeatedly until "P 1," "P 2," "P 3," "P 4," "P 5," or "P 6" appears in the right display. When a resistance and pace program is selected, the matrix will show the first seven target pace settings of the program. The left display will show how long the program will last. 3 Press the Program Start button or begin pedaling to start the program. Each program is divided into several one-minute segments. One target pace setting and one resistance setting are programmed for each segment. Note: The same target pace setting and/or resistance setting may be programmed for two or more consecutive segments. The target pace setting for the first Current Segment segment will be shown in the flash- ing Current Segment column of the matrix. (The resistance settings are not shown in the matrix.) The target pace settings for the next seven seg- ments will be shown in the columns to the right. As you exercise, the Intensity Level bar will help you to keep your pedaling pace near the target pace setting for the current segment. The lit indi- cators in the bar a represent your actual pace. If an indicator to the right of the lit indi- cators is flashing (see drawing a), increase your pace. b If an indicator to the left of any lit indicator is flashing (see drawing b), decrease your pace. When no indicator is flashing, your pace matches the target pace setting. Important: The Intensity Level bar is intended only to provide motivation. Make sure to exercise at a pace that is comfortable for you. When only three seconds remain in the first segment of the program, both the Current Segment column and the column to the right will flash, a series of tones will sound, and all target pace settings will move one column to the left. The target pace setting for the second segment will then be shown in the flashing Current Segment column and the resistance of the pedals will automatically change to the resistance setting programmed for the second segment. Note: If all of the indicators in the Current Segment column are lit after the target pace settings have moved to the left, the target pace settings will move downward so that only the highest indicators appear in the matrix. Note: During the program, you can override the resistance setting for the current segment, if desired, by pressing the Resistance buttons. However, when the next segment begins, the resistance will automatically change if a different resistance setting is programmed for the next segment. If you stop pedaling for several seconds, a tone will sound and the program will pause. To restart the program, simply resume pedaling. The program will continue until the target pace setting for the last segment is shown in the Current Segment column of the matrix and no time remains in the program. 15
